Passage

Acts 27.9

Book: Acts · NASB95

Immediate context (±2 verses)

ASV

7. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone; 8. and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

9. And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives. 11. But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul. (Acts 27:7-11, ASV)

WEB

7. When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone. 8. With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

9. When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” 11. But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul. (Acts 27:7-11, WEB)

KJV

7. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; ^{Crete: or, Candy} 8. And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

9. Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, ^{the fast: the fast was on the tenth day of the seventh month}

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. ^{hurt: or, injury} 11. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. (Acts 27:7-11, KJV)

YLT

7. and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone, 8. and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called 'Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea.

9. And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous, because of the fast also being already past, Paul was admonishing,

saying to them, 'Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives, the voyage is about to be;' 11. but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul; (Acts 27:7-11, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
